Tomás Guillermo del Rosario y Tongco (February 10, 1857 – July 4, 1913) was a Filipino judge and statesman who served as the first Governor of the province of Bataan from 1903 to 1905. He is remembered for advocating the separation of church and state.

Del Rosario was born to Cipriano del Rosario and Severina Tongco in Binondo, Manila. He was a judge of the First Instance of Manila from 1888 to 1896. He was deported to Ceuta, Africa from 1896 to 1897 for alleged involvement in the revolution.
